Ultimately, you expire, leaving only a faceless, unidentifiable corpse behind.

I beat it in an afternoon. :/ Also, no cake, wtf??? I had called my kid in to watch the party and my son was like 'where's the cake, and why are you going into the fire, dad?' /agree with Freakazoid that there should have been a couple really hard puzzles there at the end. Even the boss fight was fairly easy. Nice song at the end though... definitely a nice touch. Portal was a really good game.. unfortunately it was way too short. I beat it in an afternoon. :/
